    About this ebook

    Doug is a roller dung beetle and he loves to roll dung. No matter what the weather is like. No matter how high the mountain. No matter what obstacle may come his way, he will roll and roll until he makes it home. Unless, maybe, the obstacle is a dung beetle eating lizard!

    Martina lives in Melbourne with her partner Jonathan, two daughters Saskia and Katja and two golden retrievers Harry and Murphy.
